Tbong Khmum provincial authorities are speeding up the construction of a new historical monument, aimed at transforming the Cambodia-Vietnam border X-16 into a historical tourist site before June this year.

The site inspection was conducted on Thursday 22 April by the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Deputy Commander-in-chief Sao Sokha and Tbong Khmum Provincial Governor Cheam Chansophorn.

According to Governor Chansophorn told the Construction & Property News via Telegram on April 26, the X-16 border area was the starting point of PM Hun Sen’s national liberation mission, where he crossed the border to request help from Vietnam on 20 June 1977.

“Thus, turning this area into a historical tourist site will help future generations to remember these historical scarifications,” said HE Chansophorn.

The project will include the construction of a historical building, monument, park, as well as other key infrastructures. The main building is scheduled to be completed before June this year.

Upon completion, HE Chansophorn is also planning to initiate a study tour program called “Historical Virtues” for all Cambodians.
